Hi everyone! I’m Sunshine, but my foster mom calls me baby girl because I’m so adorable. They tell me I’m 10 years old, but I don’t know what they are talking about, I think I’m 5. My favorite thing in the whole wide world is playing ball. I make it really easy on you, you can just bounce it off the wall and I will catch it and bring it back to you! It’s so fun!

I love to be inside and just be with you whenever I can. I love my foster mom, but I love my dad even more, he stays home with me a lot and we get to hang out. I have proven to be great in the house and have never touched anything that wasn’t mine. I did try counter surfing once, but I got in trouble, so I don’t do that anymore. I will sleep in your bed if you let me, but my foster parents don’t like this, so they taught me to sleep in my own bed.

I barked a lot when I first came, I was nervous and frustrated. Now, I rarely bark cause I’m so comfy in my foster home.  I need an extra special family, who will love me a lot. I have allergies, so I need special care, and I may be allergic to cats, so no cats. I want someone who will give me exercise and play ball with me. I’m really a good dog, just need lots of love.

From the foster parents: Sunshine needs good structure and boundaries. She is well behaved, but may challenge you at first. She knows sit, stay, down, drop it, “NO”, and takes food from your hand gently. (She does not always take the ball so gently though, she gets really excited). She would do better with a family without small children.

Jeanette (Duchess to her foster parents) is a sweet loving girl. She loves toys and walks around with a stuffed animal in her mouth. 

She knows some basic commands...sit, lay down, shake, etc...and is good in the car and on a leash.  She also comes when called.

Her fosters believe she will do best in a home without small children and where she can be the dominant (or only) dog.

Hi! I’m Henna and I like warm hugs.  No, seriously, I really do hug my humans. Foster mom says I’m super sweet and wicked smart, and she’s right! I love to learn new things and go on exciting adventures. I love my people most of all and really like to hang out with them. In fact, I love my people SO much I get anxiety when I’m left alone but I’m working on it and it’s getting easier. I get along great with other dogs, cats and kids and I will play with anything willing to play with me. My perfect home would have another dog (or two) to play with and help keep me calm when you’re gone, which won’t be long, right?  

I really am a low-maintenance lady who will never tell her real age. My life started anew when I was rescued. My boo-boos have healed, my heart worms are gone, and I feel like a young pup again, ready to start my new life. Because I’m a lady, I know where business is done (outside), the crate is for when you leave and is a happy place, and which toys are for chewing and which are for your feet. I know how to walk nicely on a leash, ride calmly in the car, and most importantly, take treats ever so gently. I love the treats and occasionally I look on the counter for a morsel left behind. 

Now don’t get the impression I’m a slug, I love to go for daily walks and sometimes I run along side the bike. Exercise helps keep my lady-like figure, right now I’m about 80 pounds of sweet, sweet chocolate. In my spare time, I enjoy being outside in the company of squirrels, if I can’t be outside, I’d like to see outside please (to monitor the squirrels, of course). 

Momma says a home that can provide structure and consistency would be best (and don’t forget a dog sibling). I just need a little extra TLC as I transition to my new life, but in return, I promise to be your loyal companion and a perfect lady with a lifetime of unconditional love and warm hugs.

UPDATE FROM HENNA: Hi friends, I just have to tell you about how amazing being a part of a family is. I used to get anxious when I was left alone, but heck, it’s no big deal now. Foster mom doesn’t even put me in the crate anymore (or separate me from my kitties). Sometimes I go into my crate to wait for my treat before she leaves, but usually she just delivers it to my bed with kisses. How awesome is that? I have discovered the super softness of my very own bed and I enjoy it much more than being outside, being with my family is my happy place. I have this special power where I look all cute and act silly and magically I get belly rubs. You should stop by a meet & greet where I will cast my spell on you and I bet you’ll be rubbing my belly in no time. I’m looking for a forever family that has a soft place to nap and is familiar with belly rubs and treat delivery.

Hi, Abigail here.

I have finally moved into my family home after going thru some intensive training and loving my new home.  I am house trained, crate-trained (sleep in my crate at night for practice but do not need to be crated), love my foster dog brother Bentley, know sit/down/stay/wait, play ball nonstop with anyone who arrives to throw the ball (have also found balls under furniture to bring to my foster mom who obviously does not look under the furniture very often), walk nicely on leash in the neighborhood greeting other dogs. I love to swim and would love a pool.

I would love to meet you…and become your own.

I love people…but probably need to be in home with children older than 10 years.

Please contact my foster for a play date so I can get on to my forever home!

Hello, I’m Samm and I am so ready to find me the best fit for a forever family! You see, I’ve been adopted twice and it just didn’t work out. I am vibrant and energetic like an Ever-Ready bunny. I don’t seem to run out of energy until bedtime.  I’m a youngster at 1 ½ years old. I am tall, lean, and handsome and have quite a personality!  I think I would feel comfortable with a 6 ft. fence, because I am a great jumper and don’t want any temptations!  (Just because I can jump doesn’t mean I will… I mean if life is great at your home, why would I want to leave???) 

Here are some of my good qualities along with some challenges that I have. I recently learned I can swim but I still need help getting in the water. Not quite as confident as I would like. Retrieving tennis balls is my favorite game. Don’t like to give up the ball though and I am strong!  Looks like the most consistent thing that I do is take care of my business outside. Whew!  I am learning to stay quiet in the crate. Usually, I am vocal about having to stay in that box! Please don’t leave me there for hours and hours. Looks like I am walking on the leash a little better. I need lots of practice and a good supportive collar.

I need you to know that I get along better with other dogs if they will play with me! I will play and chew bones with them but really like some roughness, some nibbling, and lots of running. My foster sister is fast but I tower over her. I wear her out!  My foster brother is older and doesn’t want to be bothered.

Any strong pack leaders out there? My foster mom says in order for me to stay healthy and become mature I need help from a human leader to show me how to manage my high spirited side. She tells me it’s a beautiful sight to see me calm and eager to please. I tend to be demanding but I am very motivated when I get morsels for my good behavior. I do well when I play several times and day and need a special human to play with me and teach me safe ways to handle the ball.

Gotta wrap this up! So if you are interested see my fantastic pics. You and your family will be the best fit for me if you are ready to be attentive to my need for structure and boundaries and keep me focused on my goals. Know that I must have exercise several times a day and it would be great to have a doggie companion. If the home has kids they need to be at least 10yrs. old. I definitely want a big yard to exert my energy. Last thing but most important…give me lots of TLC daily!

I'm such a gentle, sweet, handsome fellow - no idea how I ended up in that shelter!  I'm house-trained, and am good with other dogs and children.  I love being near my humans, and think the couch and any available bed are mine.  I get a little nervous being left alone for a long time, so I would do best with someone who works from home, or is retired.  If you're looking to add a sweet, handsome dude to your family, come meet me!

May (Tater) is a sweet girl who is good with other dogs.  Weighing around 50 pounds, she is a true “rescue” pup from a breeder facility and is very shy and timid.  We lovingly call her Tater as she is very content laying on the coach or hang out in her crate.

She has learned basic commands (sit and is working on “stay”), walks really well on a leash and is submissive by nature.   She will do well with a calm, easy going family with patience in willing to help her transition to normal family life.

While a couch potato at heart, she does like running around the neighborhood while I bike around the block.  She knows how to share and gets along with our Labs and dogs in the neighborhood. Her ideal home will be a patient loving home willing to work with her and teach her self-confidence and build her trust.

I am Madge, but in a former life I was Maggie and I respond to that. I am a calm girl except when I am uncertain where I am or you are and then I have a puppy bark to let you know I need you to tell me where you are so I can get my bearings. I like toys to chew but don’t chew anything I am not supposed to.  I like to play fetch but I need things that make noise as I have progressive retinal atrophy and am almost blind. I can still see the sunlight reflecting on the pool in the afternoon from my foster mom’s bedroom which is important as I am an expert swimmer.

I love people, kids of all ages and other dogs.  I'm not sure about cats as my foster mom does not have a cat for me to try out and see how I feel.

I was found straying and taken to the shelter and not claimed back; I have very good manners and am house trained.

I am very keen on my food but am a trim 57lbs as I work off the calories in the pool - did I say how expert a swimmer I was?

So more on my eyes – I have a genetic condition that causes blindness between the ages of around 6 and 8 years old and there is no treatment for it other than some eye drops to prevent my eyes getting sore.  Otherwise I am fit and well. I actually manage very well if I am in a familiar place and mapped my foster moms house and yard in about 48 hours. I only get confused if she moves stuff around too much. When I am in a new place I bump into everything for the first time but at home you would never know I could not see. I mapped the pool really really quickly – did I mention how much I like to swim?

Madge (Maggie) is an energetic, petite lady who loves to swim above all else.  She has done great left at home with other dogs for company but would likely get a little stressed at long separation on her own. She is house trained and vocal when she needs to go out. She gets nervous when there are strange noises in the house like contractors or the handyman and can be a bit vocal when stressed. She is slightly thunder phobic but it is mainly about the loud and unexpected noise when it starts. She rides great in a car and we are working on leash walking leash outside of familiar territory can be a bit all over the place. Madge adores swimming above all.

Hi- My name is Jenkins and I am a cute mini lab. I weigh only 60 lbs.  and I am a love bug. I have just finished my heart worm treatment so I am feeling much better.

I am in a foster home with a foster lab bro and a real 10 year old boy. I get along great with everyone and fit right in around the house. I am pretty easy going. I love to be petted and loved on and I like to follow you around. I will “help” pick up socks if you drop them while doing the laundry. I am potty trained, crate trained and I am working on not jumping on people. Playing ball really isn’t my thing but I love to go outside and sit out by the big tree in the backyard and watch the squirrels run around. I can do that for hours. They come check on me every once in a while but I love to sit like a statue just watching the squirrels run around. I am afraid of loud noises so I bark at the vacuum and jump when it thunders. I run to find a person for a cuddle and I am good again. I am a very sweet small boy and would love to find a nice home to settle down in. Now that my heartworm treatment is done, come see me!!!!

*This dog may not meet the breed standard for a Labrador Retriever.

Hello everyone!  My name is Zaden, and I'm a little over 3 years old.  I'm not a big guy, just kinda leggy and tall, so if you want to feed me a little extra kibble, I won't mind!  I really like playing with toys, especially that rope thing.  I can whip that around like nobody's business.  I'm learning how to play ball with my foster mom, and I like that too.  I also like shoes, and not to wear.  You probably should put them somewhere until I learn that those are not mine.  I do know some commands.  I'm good at sit, shake, and lay down.  I also know that I am supposed to sleep on my bed, and not on my foster mom's bed. I am good in the car and enjoy looking out the window.  Any window, that's like dog TV.  I do ok in the crate, and won't complain too much. I also like to go for walks, but if I see a squirrel, hang on tight! I have a foster brother right now and we get along great.  I think it would be best if you didn't have cats. I love people and I can't wait to be loved by you. I'm looking forward to meeting you and I hope you pick me so I can finally have my forever home.

First things first, my papers say Janet, but my foster momma calls me Meela.  If you decide to adopt me, you can call me anything you want.

I was found nearly starved to death in a hog trap in rural Texas and was so scared when I got to the shelter that they wanted to make me sleep for a really long time.   I used to tremble and piddle anytime a new person would talk to me, and if I’m really honest, new people still make me somewhat nervous.  It took me a few days to trust my foster momma (and probably you too), but I’m really starting to like the domestic life.  I wag my tail all the time now, and I really love living with other dogs and cats.  I also really love lots and lots of toys.  I didn’t have any house manners when I came to live in my foster home, and I still sometimes get in trouble for chewing on something other than my toys, but I’m always sweet and submissive.  I never bite or growl, although I might scamper away.  

My foster momma says she’s trying to help me feel more confident, but I still don’t like it when she wants to practice commands…although I do like those treats, so maybe one day I’ll humor her and try to do something she says.  I don’t mind going into a crate, but please don’t close the door – it reminds me too much of that terrible time in the hog trap, and I can’t help but cry and cut myself trying to get out.  I’m mostly well behaved in the house, and I’ll stop doing anything bad if you tell me no.  I sleep quietly on my dog bed all night without getting up or needing to potty.  I am completely housebroken now, and I love having a big yard to run around in many times per day.  Sometimes I even like to stay outside in the fresh air for a while, and the rest of the time I’ll probably lay down close to you (once I decide you’re ok).  I still don’t like the leash, but I sometimes go on short walks with my foster brother and sister.  I see how much they like walks, but I just don’t know yet.  It’s just so scary to be outside my yard.  I prefer to just stay home.

My perfect “forever” home would have at least one dog…one that’s young enough to play chase and wrestle with me and not get too tired.  Multiple dogs and cats are great; the more, the merrier!  I’m not sure how I feel about kids…people who run up to me too fast really scare me.  But a household with more than one person would be great because I really don’t like it when my humans are not at home.  I would love a house where someone stays home with me during so I can be their best friend.  Is that you?

Tulip is a beautiful, sweet but shy dog.  She takes some time to understand her place and has very mild separation anxiety but she is extremely loyal.  Sure, she loves her toys, splashing in the pool, going for walks, riding in the car and treats - but more than anything, she loves her people (all kinds - young, old, noisy or quiet). She gets along with other dogs but it does take a little time to warm up and she needs a proper introduction (like any good lady should) and monitoring for a day or so.  

What this little lady doesn't like is crates. And she can be very creative in finding a way to break out.  And frankly - they stress her out.  If not crated, she is really very good in the house.   

Tulip would be best in a home where someone is home with her most of the time - at least for the first month or two.  A home with another low key and very well adjusted dog can help her to adjust and get over what will be about a month to really get comfortable.  She does occasionally have an accident in the house when she's unsure of her status but after that - she is well potty trained and as long as not crated - has good potty habits.

She is really just the sweetest, calmest dog when you are with her and after about a month has really done well with learning that being left is not permanent.  She needs a home that will commit to her for the long term and allow her to truly develop into the great dog that she can be.  Every day I see progress in this dog and she needs the right home to give her some time to adjust to be that dog that will steal your heart.

I'm Anais, but I'll answer to Annie, and I'm a sweet three year old black female.  I was recently spayed and had all necessary vaccinations taken care of.  I only weighed 50 pounds when they found me, but I'm putting on weight and eating well and I'm healthy now.

I love to run and play and chase squirrels and I am good with other dogs and kids.  I still have a lot of energy so I need room to run and/or long walks.  I love to chase the tennis ball too… it's my favorite!

I'm fully potty trained, and good in the house with no chewing tendencies!  

I love to snuggle and will make a good couch/lap dog, and I love to sleep next to the bed at night. I am afraid of thunder so I need somebody to cuddle with during storms.

I'm a fun happy little girl looking for a good home and somebody to play with.
